Good morning Doug. Rol answered your light problem so I wont bother to respond to that. As far as your leak is concerned, I had leaks in very same places....
Jamie, Patti and I recently rebuilt our 65 T-21, and no, there is no grey tank originally. Since most RV parks require a grey tank, I installed one just...
Do you really need a grey water tank? Can't you just use a Blue Portable Tank? I don't stay in R.V parks but they never said anything to me in State Parks and...
I hope rv parks don't require a built in tank. I was planning on getting one of the tote tanks and just keeping in the back of my truck when not in use. ... ...
... Of course not, however, I agree with Jamie. I added a 20 gal gray tank under the kitchen sink in my '60 H-24. This gave me the ability to brush my teeth,...
Commercial interlude: I'm the guy with the 40 gal blue tank for sale that I mentioned on here some time ago. Used only for one dump then our campground started...
Has anybody had any experience with the dimmer switch for the overhead light going bad? Until recently the light was working fine and then the dimmer quit...
The overhead light in my AVION, the one that's operated by one of the wall switches by the door, is flourescent. I'm surprized that yours is operated by a...
--Jim, The bulbs in my overhead light are 12vdc with a standard base, just like a 120vac you would have in a house. The earlier Avions had these as oem. The...
OK, Dennis, I know the bulbs you you have. In that case, the dimmer switch must be an on-off potentiometer. I would think that Radio-Shack would be a better...
... Thanks for the feedback, I'll try Radio Shack and let you know how it turns out. Denis 75 28ft LaGrande 99 GMC 4x4 Suburban Clarkston, Michigan In...
My 1978 30R had the fixture with two bulbs and the switch by the door. I replaced the two 12 VDC incandescent bulbs with 12 VDC fluorescents that use far less...
There is a 1968 28' Avion in Sunfield MI. McAllister auctions 517-881-8132 or www.mcallisterauctions.com. Ad says the Avion needs a little work. For you...
My wife and I have a 76' Travelcader and we need an awning. Used would OK but we would get a new one if it was too expensive. Thanks! Tom & Jan McCoy...
WE need a rock guard for a 76' Travelcader. Would like a clear one (dark gray, see through)but a solid one would do in a pinch. Would like silver aluminum...
Good morning Tom & Jan. Welcome to the Avion Camping and Restoration forum. If you are referring to the rock guard for the front window, you might try Cayo...
Hi All, Mark Your Calanders! The SAF Rally is on for July 15-19 2009 at the Elkhart Campground in Elkhart, IN. Go to elkhartcampground.com for directions and...
Hi Ya'll I have just gotten a hold of a Avion 1979 34 W. Kind of a share cropping deal. It took me a while to decide to write. But I've enjoyed reading the...
Herbert, Thanks for joining, exploring our archives, and learning about the forum. Congratulations on your find, and welcome! We will enjoy hearing about...
Thanks for the info... contacted Cayo today, they carry a front window rock screen it is around $400 plus shipping (which is getting ridiculous)they also carry...
I had posted on here a little while ago about having two leaks on the trailer that I just purchased, my 1987 34V. Well, one leak turned out to be the seal at...
Hi Doug. Congratulations on successfully sealing the window on your trailer. I am sure the butyl rubber will seal the window better then the putty type...
Doug, I had the same situation as you and Bill with the rivets in the corners, and I agree that it was an assembly convenience at the factory. The one thing...
thanks Bill on the info on the rivets. Here's the rub, on the upper left corner, the rivet hole just barely makes it on the aluminum skin... Actually the...
You used acetone to clean the old stuff away. So do I. Also, try a heat gun, like they use on houses to blister paint for refinishing the siding. Most...
Cayo has the beltline rubber to go around the trailer and the Hehr strip to cover the attachment screws around each window. I just bought some. We cut short...
Doug, Another thing to remember about windows and door frames is not to over tighten all those screws. If you tighten just enough to spread out the seal and...
Hey it's Blake, 1963 Avion H-24. Living in St. Louis the inside of my trailer can feel like an ice box in late fall, I can't imagine what's going to happen...
Hi Blake. You are at a real disadvantage because Avion did not designed their trailers to provide full time living quarters in -10 degree weather. Can it be...
-Thanks Bill, I've been thinking that I'm going to have to find an old heated warehouse or barn to drop anchor for the season. If I could just get 2-300 miles...
